Food News Roundup 06.07.14

Eatosi is back, and we apologise for the delay; it’s been one of those periods of massive life changes and research into food that should keep us all entertained. We have created a new feature, hopefully weekly, for you to enjoy; our food news roundup. (Click on the images for the original story)

1) Have potatoes had their day?
The Guardian has reported on the demise of the spud. Fish and Chip vendors beware, there’s plenty of plaice for fish (sorry) but not for the accompanied side dish of a generation.

2) Why donuts make sense when you’re stressed

Ever felt guilty for having a donut or a piece of chocolate cake? Well, don’t. Apparently scientists have found a link between your tastebuds and stress indicators. It’s sounds too good to be true.

3) Don’t worry about the potato, Gourmet Chips are all the rage!

If you have just thrown away your bag of potatoes, wash them off and slice them thin. Gourmet chips are all the rage, apparently. Truffle covered fritte’s and parmesan with poppy seed have re-invented your casual flutter with a carbohydrate laced dip in the dark.

4) Chefs are getting younger and younger

This chef in particular has just beaten Heston Blumenthal for the best restaurant award in Berkshire. Luke Thomas, remember the name, is just 20.

5) And finally, where’s the best diet in the world?

Some say, you can’t beat the Mediterranean diet, others, the taste of Asia is best. Well, Jimmy Doherty and Kate Quilton decide to go around the world to find out. Some people have the best jobs.
